We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of personal information in our custody and control.

To provide you with an increased level of security, online access to certain personal information may be protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication.

Below are some recommendations to help ensure that your online shopping is safe.

• If you use a public computer, always close your session when you are done.

• When you create a password, use at least 8 characters – a combination of letters and numbers is the best. Don’t use dictionary words, your name, your e-mail address or any other personal information that can be easily obtained. It is also recommended to change your password often.

• Use a different password for your different accounts online.

• Beware of unsolicited e-mails and unsolicited phone calls.

In addition, we will never contact you to ask you information about your credit card number or bank account. Information like this should be sent to us only when you do a transaction, by contacting us directly or by modifying your account online. If you receive a suspect e-mail with a link to update the information on your account, do not click on this link. Go directly into your account on boutique.montrealalouettes.com.
